    How to reach ramkamhaeng (by canal) from MRT?

    Hi everyone, can you help me please to understand the way to reach soi 89 ramkamhaeng rd, in bangkapi, bangkok, using the canal boat, and MRT systems, i believe if I reach Petchaburi MRT, i can then walk a short distance to the smaller Canal, which can take me to Bangkapi mall pier, (the last stop), is that true? If yes, what time does the last boat leave near Petchaburi MRT to go Bangkapi? thanks

    Take the canal boat towards Bangkapi and get off next to the Chaleena Hotel Pier which is on Soi 89 just off Ramkamhaeng Road.
    When I was in America a guy told me to 'have a nice day' but I didn't, so I sued him

    From Petchaburi MRT walk to Asoke Road. The canal runs parallel to Phetchaburi Rd. at the north end of Asoke. From there do what DJ Pat says. You want to be on a boat travelling east. Should take about 30 mins. You need to get off at Mahathai.

    Bring a newspaper to shield yourself from the water splashing

    Ok thanks, i start at Lumphini MRT, i will catch the canal as the sun is going down, or just before sunset, my destination is Soi 89/2, looking at google maps, i noticed the soi is opposite the , and there appears to be 2 bridges there,

    2 Ramkhamhaeng 89 Bangkok Thailand - Google Maps

    Will i be able to get off that stop, is Bangkapi Mall pier the last stop, or do I have to request it? Then cross the bridge, and walk back along the main road to reach the soi

    Soi 89, and Soi 89/2 are different places, i need to go to 89/2

    It'll stop at all piers, look out for the bright lights of the Chaleena hotel

    No, the last stop is Wat Sri Boonruang, about 3 stops past The Mall.
